1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is an uncommon disorder that causes inflammation of the blood vessels in the nose, throat, lungs, and kidneys. We describe a 20-year-old female who presented to the emergency room with acute left facial paralysis, worsening left-sided otalgia secondary to a hyperemic tympanic membrane with middle ear granulation tissue, nasal obstruction with associated intermittent epistaxis, and cough. A high index of suspicion for GPA helped make an early diagnosis with subsequent initiation of treatment. This case details an unusual presenting symptom for GPA, as well as our treatment plan and the patient's subsequent recovery.
